I live in Sweden myself and just bought The Fifth Element and Memento for 15 USD each (+ 7 USD for international shipping). Both films are region free.

Do any of the movies fill the whole screen?

Maybe a noob question but I'm getting tired of the black bars.

Memento doesn't seem to be region free, at least on the Amazon page, which sucks as I would've bought it in a second.

There's a sizeable chunk of the blu-ray movies that are region free. Presumably this is because the userbase is still too small and it's more cost effective to print one disc for all territories. There are a couple of websites out there that list which blu-ray movie plays on which region player. I imported the US version of Planet Earth and Apocalypto and they're region free (though haven't checked yet as they've just been shipped.

Most movies are filmed using a wider aspect ratio (wider image) and when you put a wider image on a 4:3 or 16:9 TV the picture get squeezed and black bars are added to preserve the original ratio. Why would you want to ruin a movie by getting it panned, scanned and cropped to fill the entire screen?

(EDIT) Here's a quick guide. Also read the next page.

Why is this in the gaming section?

That was my first thought. I wish I stocked up on the BOGO sales because I have a feeling we won't be seeing a gg sale like that anymore.

bought Spiderman Trilogy and Black Hawk Down.

I'm thinkin abut getting Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind and 2001: A Space Odyssey. I know they're classics and was interested in seeing them. However, I'm not sure whether I would enjoy them, as I don't seem to enjoy other old classic films like Monty Python etc

I asked twice in the thread in the OT about this but they're all too busy being a bunch of twats to answer the question:

Does anyone know if this is a sale or just a general markdown? On that page I couldn't find anything to suggest that it was a sale.

I love seeing these sales. I was beginning to think Blu Ray prices would increase since they no longer have competition.
